Welcome to the world of strings! Our goal is to encourage and nurture a healthy relationship with music in students ages 6 and up. In a relaxed and collaborative environment, students will learn to read music fluently, properly hold their instruments and bows, develop an understanding of beginner music theory, rhythm, listening and sight-reading skills and, most importantly, how to practice. Lessons will be based on classical training techniques, but study of alternative musical genres will be encouraged in interested students. Beginner, intermediate and advanced private lessons are offered to cello students. Cost of any necessary books is in addition to the tuition fee. Lessons for cello or violin are half-hour, private lessons. Students must provide instrument.
